Crank style Roof lift system requires physical assistance
Recently purchased previously owned 2005 Jayco Jay Series model 1206 . Have encountered most recent issue of when cranking roof/top up one corner seems to bind and requires physical human assistance to go up. We encountered the same issue with closing it down. It took all my 230# husbands weight to get it to close (on the same corner). We just retired and aren’t as physically capable as when we were young! The owners manual indicates it has 1 cable on the corner of the cranking mechanism & to be sure not to over tighten. That cable is not in place & is not visible. In a video I saw a man manually tightening and loosing bolts to adjust 4 cables inside what appears to be the wooden “step” inside at the end of the camper bed. There is no access to this area on our camper. We have been trying to learn this cute little camper at home before we take it out. This is one of 3-4 issues we’ve encountered. The others are fixed and we’re not cheap. If anyone has any suggestions we are happy to hear them! Also, if you have any idea if one or 4 cables?? Any idea of cost for a professional to repair? Thank you for any and all help! Theresa & Jim
